    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    2015 Mustang rear hub with a Scat Pack 14.2 rotor and 4 piston Brembo. The beginning of the idea was something with a tone ring built in. No idea if it will come to fruition.

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    I see some similarities. Yours looks much more svelte and cleaner though. I assuming you are running a narrow front wheel? I looked at dropping mine 1" but the tie rod end started being an issue again even though I would run 18" wheels with mine.

    A body with an A833 and a Gear Vendor installed

    Some 4 speed install info. Gear Vendor and 833 Here is the start of an install. It's an auto trans, but the install might give you some input. 68' Valiant 4 door

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    LA 360 with rebuilder pistons (8.5:1 or worse), Mopar R/T heads, RPM intake, Carter 1406, Bullet Cams regrind (206/210 @ 0.050, 262/267 advertised, .517/.520, HR), cast iron freeflows, dual exhaust. I wish it has some compression, it's pretty mild for what it is. Fun, but I wouldn't say it has...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    Nope. Just running it stock. But it has been several years since I put it in, and it wasn't original, so not going to say it wasn't done before I got it though.

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I've had the opposite experience with an A833OD. I run mine with a 3.21 rear gear and while I do wish for a better drop from 1 to 2, I think it is fine and drives great. Cruises at 65 @ 2000 rpm and does fine around town. There is better, no argument. But now that I am putting the T56 I...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I drive an A833OD so I don’t have an real input for you other than a thought. A 5 or 6 speed does more than just allow a deeper rear gear. It can also makes the splits better, just like AJ is saying. Simple math. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but I am pretty sure a 3.09 Commando box...

    I don’t know if he has run an A833OD, but I know @JBrian runs an A855. Maybe he would have some input, hopefully he sees this.

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    The '96+ 5.9 flexplate has the balance weight on it. If I am understanding you correctly, you could locate the later flexplate and use your 5.2 flywheel then.

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    The only other possibility I can think of is to build a crank pickup on the front of the motor. That's what I did, but never used it so no idea if would have worked. Either way, moving the pickup to the front of the motor removes the issue with having to buy a special flywheel or figure out...

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    I did some searching and didn't find anyone using a dual sync distributor for the stock EFI. Maybe @jbc426 has more info? I looked at a dual sync distributor years ago and ran across one from FAST that looked like it might work but it was just a maybe. Looks like FAST is gone and not sure if...

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    That's what Professor Fate was saying. They don't list them on the website, you have to call them. I was only listing the P/N in case it helped, not because you could then find it on their website.

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    The guy in this video showed how to use the Holley distributor with a Terminator X, but not sure if it could be made to work with the stock EFI. 360 Magnum Daily Driver (but fun too!!!)

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    AP part# is FWCH-10004CS if that helps. It's their FWCH-10004 flywheel with notches added. Probably going to be much cheaper than the MD one I posted above.

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    Here's another option: Mopar 5.2L Billet Steel Flywheel/ 130 tooth Says 93-95, but I don't think that is right. The only reason I can think of that is the '93-95 5.9 had a weight on the torque converter making them specific. And then in '96 the weight shifted to the flexplate. So MD might...

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    Is that the mount from this thread? Clutch Master Cylinder Mounting Can’t tell. His is supposed to clear the inner fender with a Wilwood master. If it isn’t, maybe a different master cylinder would help?

    5 Speed swap

    Agreed that a TC (without LU) will never be 100%, but it still seems to me that any RPM above stall isn't going to slip beyond that. And if stall is at max resistance, WOT is never going to see the same load since the car is moving. I'm no TC expert, much more of a manual guy, so I am just...

    5 Speed swap

    But you have driven an AX15 with a tall rear gear, which I for one have not. So you are far better equipped to actually speak to how it drives regardless of what you compare it to. Frankly, every trans has compromises. For example, a narrow ratio trans needs a deeper rear gear to make up for...

    5 Speed swap

    While I don't completely disagree, remember that above stall the TC isn't going to slip. It might allow for a 1000 RPM "flair" when gently rolling through an intersection, but it isn't going to do that when it shifts at WOT. Unless I am ignorant of something, at best a TC is only going to slip...

    Good grief! Finally found what was tickling my brain. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/american-powertrain-10-5-flywheel-for-fi-magnum-360.470890/ My gut says that both Modern Driveline and American Powertrain are getting the flywheel from the same place. But just a guess.

    Found this: https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/can-we-get-a-magnum-swap-sticky.307427/ @71dusterdan had some kind of issue with Modern Driveline but was able to source a flywheel from American Powertrain?

    He did drive it later in the video, or maybe in a following video. So, I think it worked at least a little while. Funny. I went round and round with a guy from Modern Driveline about this. They show (showed?) a flywheel part number MD-LBS360LA-130T that the guy swore was right, but I was...

    The cost to get a 5.9 neutral balance is probably cost prohibitive.

    Lets see those stick shift Magnum cars!

    My original plan had been to cut slots in the pulley as well. In the end, I was worried about the scale of the slots, wasn't sure if the PCM used the leading and trailing edge of the slot for anything. As I remember, I scaled the slots in my ring to match so that (in theory) the PCM would see...

    Lets see those stick shift Magnum cars!

    Exactly. There is one company that at least used to make a 130T flywheel with the notches but I have yet see anyone ever do it. I saw one post about someone buying it, and then later selling it. And the one guy that has done it took a 143T flywheel and turned it down to fir the 130T ring...
